'Underrated' cologne for him that is 'truly unique' slashed by 67% at Superdrug
If there's one gift dad is sure to love this Father's Day, then it's a bottle of fragrance. Fortunately, there are many deals still available before Sunday, June 15.
One retailer offering hefty discounts across luxury branded scents is Superdrug, with over half-price being slashed across iconic designer bottles such as Hugo Boss, Emporio Armani, Jean Paul Gaultier and much more.
However, like perfume, choosing the right cologne can be difficult, but one dad will be able to get a lot off use out of is the Versace The Dreamer For Him Eau de Toilette that has been praised as "great for all year round."
Like many premium fragrances, it often comes with an expensive price-tag, with a large 100ml costing £74, although the health and beauty chain has slashed it to just £24, saving a staggering 67 percent off the RRP.
Described as "warm" and "fresh", Versace's Dreamer is an aromatic fragrance that, while belonging to the cologne family, is said to boast a variety of notes that make it suitable for both men and women.
The scent opens on vibrant notes of juniper, tarragon, and artemisia, before blending into heart notes of iris, lily and flax flowers to add a touch of softness. It then ends on a comforting base of tobacco blossom and amber, offering a smoky, luxurious finish.
The transparent, clear fragrance itself is housed in an opulent glass bottle that has been embossed with the iconic medusa logo, representing the luxury aesthetic of the iconic fashion house.
For the dads who love a mix of notes in their fragrance, then another deal worth looking into is on the Gucci Guilty Essence Pour Homme (90ml) that is now on offer at The Perfume Shop for £44.99, down from £97.
Another unisex style fragrance is Calvin Klein's CK One, which was the first to be marketed as such. Mixing earthy and fresh notes, shoppers can bag a large 200ml for just £32.50, down from £74, on Amazon.
However, shoppers keen to know more about Versace's The Dreamer EDT will be happy to hear it has earned a 4.6 rating and 91 percent recommendation rate from Superdrug shoppers, as they say it is a "truly unique" scent.

A second delighted shopper said: "Absolutely amazing! Smell is subtle yet noticeable. Very clean and fresh. Meant for males but I think it is suitable for females too and for £30 off the price on offer 10/10."
Beauty deal of the week
It's almost Father's Day, and are you in need of some gift inspiration?
If you don't want to buy a last minute gift, then we have you covered, as a bottle of aftershave is always a good shout and Debenhams has just cut the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette from £92 to just £55.20 for a large 100ml bottle.
There is also a smaller 60ml bottle that is a bit cheaper, with the price being reduced by 37 per cent from £68 to £43. Since reviews say it "stands out from the crowd", it's a deal worth bagging for dad.
Launched in 2006, this YSL fragrance has been described as "a fragrance for the urban and charismatic 21st century male". For the guy in your life who likes to smell a little different, then this is the bottle to reach for.
It opens on sparkling notes of bergamot, zesty cedarwood and Chinese ginger that has been met with the middle notes of violet leaves and basil flowers, offering a floral and spicy contrast.
It is said to end on base notes of sandalwood, Virginia cedar wood and Haitian vetiver to "highlight this charismatic and magnetic fragrance."
Those who want to stand out from the crowd will appreciate the YSL L'Homme Eau De Toilette, as it has earned a 4.7 rating from Debenhams fragrance buffs who have said it is "unusual" and "always gets compliments."
One positive review read: "An unusual and outstanding men's perfume! What an interesting fresh yet a hint of spice men's perfume! It's different. Stands out from the crowd.
Purchase the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette (100ml) in the Debenhams sale here.
Someone else remarked: "Not to be overlooked. This is a lesser known Versace men's fragrance but oh my it is gorgeous ! Hubby loved it and amazing value for money."
The longevity and less intense nature of the fragrance have been mentioned as a couple of drawbacks, with one three-star review read: "Decent scent once you get accustomed to it. Longevity is somewhat disappointing, given the price and brand."
By comparison, someone praising the longevity said: "Pleasant, not overpowering smell. Found it lasts longer than many others i have tried. I really like it."

Russell Grant's horoscopes as romance in store for Aries
Today's horoscopes, brought to you by Russell Grant. Today's daily horoscopes for each star sign can be found below. These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant who has been reading star signs for more than 50 years. Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20) The next four weeks are set to be some of the most enjoyable of your year. Activities, invitations and new opportunities will bring with them the chance to enjoy some fun and laughter, travel and entertainment. Romance too, is in store if you are single. Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21) Today you are unstoppable. You just want to get on and do what you have to do and you are determined to enjoy this too. You know your own mind and because of this you are eager to share your ideas with workmates and housemates. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) You will be happiest when able to get on with your work. You're in the right mood for tasks such as making phone calls, taking meetings and workshops and catching up on correspondence. This is also a good day for strengthening relationships with colleagues and clients. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) With so much going on it's not going to be easy keeping on top of it all. You should pay close attention and keep notes of everything you are committing to. If you don't, you may end up making promises that are going to be hard to fulfil. Leo (July 24 - Aug 23) It isn't a good idea to prioritise personal fulfilment above financial security. You will want to kick yourself later for having spent money that should have gone on everyday expenses. If you have been through some difficult and tough times, these problems are nearing an end. Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23) Still waters run deep. You might see someone everyday but this is your first chance to really talk to them and as you do, they will reveal aspects of their character that have previously remained concealed. You're intrigued and will want to find out more. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23) You're in for a hectic month ahead on the social front. Just be careful not to take on more than you can cope with. Friendship activities will be fun but they will also be demanding. Too much of a good thing could therefore have a negative effect on your health. Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22) Managers insist that they are keeping all options on the table and their response to some last-minute suggestions will prove they're telling the truth. Be sure to make the most of this uplifting phase. Your drive to achieve, no matter what the task, will give you an edge over others. Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21) The actions of a friend have left you puzzled. For the sake of this friendship, it is essential that you do something about it. You might think about taking them to one side for a quiet word to find out what's wrong. Perhaps the signs have been evident, yet you have chosen to ignore them until now. Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20) You're eager to tackle specific tasks. Issues that arise now will present new challenges. This will keep your mind interested and active. Meeting up with or talking to someone you used to work with will be particularly rewarding as you both inspire each other. Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19) Your dynamic and cheerful mood will attract others like bees to honey. If you have feelings for someone but have not yet done anything about it, sharing an interest or attending an event together will give you a chance to find out whether they feel the same way about you. Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20) Do your best to keep out of other people's business. Avoid getting involved in financial talks and dealings especially if you sense someone is going to ask to borrow some money. If you do get drawn in, it will take a long time to resolve issues that arise.

Stephanie Davis confirms split from boyfriend five months after giving birth and admits she's 'in shock'
The Hollyoaks star had fuelled speculation she split from five-month-old son Samuel's dad when she snubbed him on Father's Day Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis has confirmed her separation from boyfriend Joe McKalroy after a week of speculation. The actress, 32, had been dating Joe since 2022 and they welcomed baby son Samuel five months ago. Last week it was reported that the romance had come to an end after a message Stephanie shared on Father's Day that didn't mention the father of her child. Rumours went into overdrive after further comments from the former Celebrity Big Brother star, and on Sunday she took to Instagram to share a huge life update with fans. She revealed they have gone their separate ways. Stephanie also told followers she's now raising Samuel as a single parent, but didn't give details about the reason for the split. She said: "Never in a million years did I think I'd be writing this. I've been left with no choice but to address the rumours." She continued: "This has come as a complete shock and has been an incredibly painful and unexpected time. Just four months after having a baby - one of the most vulnerable and emotional times in a woman's life - I've found myself facing this chapter on my own." The TV personality then hinted at her previous relationship with Jeremy McConnell, who she shares a seven-year-old son with. She added: "After everything I've been through in the past, I truly believed I'd finally found my happiness - something secure and lasting. But that, heartbreakingly, hasn't been the case. "I'm grateful for the years we had because, without us, I wouldn't have my Samuel. Who will always be my priority. "Right now, I'm focusing on healing, protecting my peace, and doing the best I can - being there for my two beautiful boys. Thank you to those who've reached out - your kindness has meant more than I can say." Earlier, Stephanie had shared a post marking five months since Samuel's birth, as reports the Mirror, and again she did not mention Joe. She said: "This Day 5 months ago you came into this world. Only 5 months old today ( I know he's still a tiny baby). It's crazy to think he's not been out in this world as long as he was in my tummy. "From nearly losing you in the beginning, the worst pregnancy, I couldn't walk with pelvic girdle trapped in the house for months and months, a terrible birth, then lifting doing every night feed lifting after a C-section, then your breathing episodes which was the scariest time of my life, it's been a long hard traumatic road. "But here you are thriving my miracle my rainbow... my world... everything I do is for you and your brother and I will always be here every single day for you, cheering you on." She added: "I'm so lucky getting to watch you grow every single day by your side into the most beautiful little boy. It So sad I don't have many photos of me and you bar selfies I've taken, but from now on I'll make sure we have many together. You will always be my priority. I love you baby."

Antiques Road Trip star opens up on daughter's heartbreaking health battle and family 'struggle'
BBC Antiques Road Trip star Phillip Serrell said daughter Clementine's battle has been 'difficult' and 'hard to understand' Antiques Road Trip star Philip Serrell has opened up about his daughter's heartbreaking battle with anorexia. The BBC expert has been open and honest in the past about Clementine's health struggles, despite finding it hard to understand at first. Now that she's in recovery, Clementine wants to raise awareness and support others who are facing the same challenges she's experienced. Phillip shared his own struggles to comprehend what she was going through. He said: 'A s a dad, it's been very difficult, I've found it very hard to understand. "I've spent 62 years enjoying eating and it's very hard not to say 'Just eat, it's easy'." He also reflected on the progress his daughter made, admitting she's 'come through this on her own'. But Phillip candidly admitted his family are not out of the woods yet, and there are still tough situations to navigate. He added: 'Christmas a very difficult time of year because people suffering with anorexia get booze and food shoved at them - and that's very hard to deal with." Phillip's daughter first stepped into the public spotlight with her journey back in 2020 when she took to social media to post a comparison image of herself. In one of the pictures, she was at the height of the devastating illness, and in the second recent snap, she looked happier and healthier and working towards healing, as reports Devon Live. Brave Clementine aimed to empower others with her words, and said: "Never think you can't escape." She then went on to detail her battles with anorexia and bulimia, explaining she thinks the catalyst was the end of a significant relationship. She believes the internal turmoil led to feeling disassociated from her life. She disclosed that in 2011, she made herself vomit 'about eight times' on New Year's Eve, waking up on New Year's Day "full of shame and utter self loathing". The next year, she started suffering from anorexia. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

She went on: "That was the worst year, and Christmas, ever. It was just pure hell, with no escape. I was TOTALLY consumed by the eating disorder, addicted to it, addicted to counting calories and 'burning off' what I could. I weighed EVERYTHING. I counted the calories in EVERYTHING. I hated what I'd become but I was petrified of giving up that addiction." She said her journey to recovery has felt painfully slow at times as she added: "After a long, and at times sooooo painfully slow, recovery I'm here, where I am now... I will always talk about eating disorders, and I'll always be honest. I don't post things like this for any praise or anything like that but to show others that you can get your life back." She said she is now committed to raising awareness about eating disorders. She went on: "I will always talk about eating disorders, and I'll always be honest. I don't post things like this for any praise or anything like that but to show others that you can get your life back. And also because I genuinely believe EDs are still very misunderstood and that kills me a bit. 'This is a hard time to go through, especially if you have an eating disorder but know that there can be life on the other side. And know that you really are strong enough to get there." Antiques Road Trip is available to watch on BBC iPlayer
